About Jessica
Dr. Jessica Hamm is a licensed counselor in Tennessee with 16 years of experience helping people manage depression, anxiety, stress, addictions, and parenting concerns.

Her style is warm and interactive. She listens without judgment and treats people with respect and compassion. Conversations are practical and focused on what will help day to day.
Background and approach
Jessica blends several approaches to fit each person’s situation. She often uses elements of cognitive-behavioral methods to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Person-centered ways of working keep the sessions collaborative and paced to the person.
Mindfulness-based techniques are used to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. She has worked in counseling roles for many years and draws on that experience when shaping treatment plans. Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal-oriented while honoring each person’s values and preferences.
Jessica supports clients in English and accepts international clients. She works online through a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their life. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and scheduling follows from there.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online
Jessica commonly draws from cognitive-behavioral techniques to help identify unhelpful thought patterns and test small behavioral changes that can reduce symptoms like anxiety, low mood, or sleep disruption. These methods are concrete and often work well in structured online sessions.She also uses person-centered principles, which center the conversation on what matters to the person and encourage honest, nonjudgmental listening. That approach helps build a collaborative relationship where goals are set together. Mindfulness-based practices are offered as short exercises to increase present-moment awareness and lower reactivity to stress or triggers.
Deciding which approach to emphasize is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose strategies that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for in-depth conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a session needs to fit into a break. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing tracking of progress, and more frequent touch points between longer sessions.
